Default Re: NBN Fibre to the Node (FTTN) - What does it mean to us?

I live 11km by the shortest route from the nearest Exchange, which is full.

I get ADSL1+ and I wasn't meant to get that as I'm too far from the Exchange AND I'm connected (well, was) to some sort of pair-sharing infrastructure. I just nagged until they relented (and Telstra Countrywide in Bendigo were brilliant). It's better than the 64k ISDN (128k without the telephone) I did have, but that's not saying much.

We're not that far from Damo, the entire area is not on NBNCo's radar. I emailed them earlier in the week asking why this is the case, seeing I'm 90km from the centre of Melbourne and about 5km inland from a major freeway but nothing back yet.

Meanwhile if you check the NBNCo coverage area they're rolling out fixed wireless to the rest of the state...but not the Macedon Ranges.
